I acquired my handle due to an unfortunate combination of alcohol at a con (which I like), and Jello shooters (of which the Jello part I loathe). Unfortunately, the Jello shooters pushed me straight from comfortably numb to stupid sloppy drunk, and thus became known henceforth as Jello.
I will get even with the garrison member who was the enabler for that debacle. Oh yes, I will....

Check out Garrisontitan.com (That's the local 501st garrison for Washington) for getting in touch with the local troopers. Getting started... well you've come to the right place for all things TK. Look around the site here, most of your questions ought to be answered somewhere.
Good luck, and welcome!

Ah, the tall trooper syndrome. At 6-03 myself, I feel your pain. That's one of the reasons why I don't wear my TK too often anymore... I just don't like the way I look in it. Besides, with the TS and TB, at least I can sit and be comfy at a troop! :-)
Plus, I don't have to worry about being as tall as Vader in pics; I can just kneel down. Good luck, and hope you find something that works for you!

Welcome aboard! I lived in Jax for awhile, and I gotta say, you're far braver than I am to go trooping in those kind of humitures!
Don't hesitate to look around, do some research, and above all, if you have any questions, ask! Someone around these parts will have an answer for you!
